中文摘要
我们开展一项田野实验，通过随机分配驾驶培训中受配给限制的名额，量化解除沙特女性驾驶禁令对女性就业的影响。处理组女性的就业可能性提高了41%，但在无需家庭许可的情况下进行购物的可能性降低了19%。异质性处理效应的模式表明，获得驾驶机会带来的这些不同影响，是由不同的女性子群体所经历的。结果凸显了家庭内部反应的重要性，这些反应可能抵消女性在法律上获得自由所取得的进展。(JEL C93, D13, J16, J22, K38, O15, O17)
Abstract
We conduct a field experiment to quantify the impact of the lifting of the Saudi women's driving ban on women's employment by randomizing rationed spaces in driver's training. Treated women are 41 percent more likely to be employed yet are 19 percent less likely to be able to make purchases without family permission. Patterns of heterogeneous treatment effects reveal that these divergent impacts of access to driving are experienced by distinct subgroups of women. The results underscore the importance of intrahousehold responses that can counteract legal gains in women's freedoms. (JEL C93, D13, J16, J22, K38, O15, O17)
